Program Planning The planning phase in PMI's PMBOK is considered one of the most important phases; without a properly defined plan your projects have a much greater chance of not succeeding. This assumption can also be made for program management; however, with program management, an entire program can fail, which could include several projects. The cost and loss of benefits that are associated with a failed  more...

Advanced Project Management Project Estimating Techniques ...Estimating Techniques teaches learners how time-box and analogous estimates are used, how to use life-cycle projections, and how the Modified Delphi method is used. It also teaches how to calculate PERT estimates and how function point analysis and forecasting are used. In addition, it covers how to avoid common estimating mistakes and how orders of magnitude help gauge the accuracy of  more...
